As harsh as the hotel looks from the outside, it is just as cozy inside: the rooms are decorated with natural wood, bright blankets made of Icelandic sheep wool are thrown on the bed, and the granite floor in the bathroom is heated by the heat of a geothermal source.

Natural elements are everywhere here, even in the restaurant some of the dishes are served on Icelandic stones: it is important for Icelanders to always feel the touch of the island.

The area of Hnappavelir, where the hotel is located, is popular with those who are keen on hiking: it is located between the ice Skaftafetl and the glacier lagoon Jokulsarlon. But also for those who just like to contemplate nature from a warm room or from a car window, it is perfect.
